1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Urothelial bladder cancer is rapidly spreading across Western countries, and therapy has shown little-to-moderate effects on bladder cancer. Thus, focusing on curbing cancer incidence has become crucial. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anticancer effects of Tannic acid (TA) in human bladder cancer. UMUC3 bladder cancer cells were treated with different concentrations of TA (0-100 µM) and tested for cell viability, colony formation, and apoptosis. The involvement of the phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway in the action of TA was examined. TA treatment significantly inhibited the viability and increased percentage of apoptotic cells, thereby decreasing antiapoptotic proteins (BCL2, MCL-1, and BCL-XL) expression, resulting in the Caspase-3 activation. TA treatment decreased stem cell markers expression such as SOX2, OCT4, and NANOG. Additionally, TA treatment significantly reduced the phosphorylation levels of Akt in bladder cancer cells. Our study demonstrates the growth inhibitory effects of TA in bladder cancer cells, and highlights its potential as an anticancer agent for bladder cancer.
